If we talk about Franciacorta it is impossible not to mention Bellavista, founded in 1977 in the town of Erbrusco in the Franciacorta area. The winery is owned by the businessman Vittorio Moretti, who in 1977 decided he wanted to make his own wine and in a very short time he transformed the company into a real jewel. The name Bellavista comes from the 'beautiful view' (which is also the direct translation of Bellavista) that is best enjoyed from the top of the Franciacorta hills, where the company is located and where it is possible to glimpse the Iseo Lake. Bellavista owns 208 hectares of vines scattered all over Franciacorta and produces about 1.300.000 bottles a year. Most of the company's production focuses on the famous sparkling wines and on few white wines. The Chardonnay selections are incredibly interesting thanks to the particularly suitable Franciacorta terroir where they grow.
